With the West Bengal government still at odds with State Governor C.V. Ananda Bose over appointment of Vice Chancellors, the latter on Sunday appointed interim Vice Chancellors to six state-run universities.
The development comes days after the Supreme Court asked the West Bengal government to submit a list of all universities along with the disciplines taught there to help the court’s search-cum-select committee appoint regular Vice-Chancellors to the state-run universities.
The six interim Vice Chancellors appointed by the Governor are Achintya Saha for Murshidabad University, B.B. Parida for Mahatma Gandhi University, Nikhil Chandra Ray for Coochbehar Panchanan Barma University, Rathin Bandyopadhyay for Alipurduar University, Dilip Maity for Biswa Bangla University and CM Raveendran (Retd IPS) for North Bengal University.
